Hello, i am selling opencart theme. and my buyer ask me refund after a week of purchase.
and refund reason is

“We decide to not use the opencart commerce system. Is it possible to get a refund?”

.
He does not have any complaints about my theme so is that valid reason to give refund or i should reject refund request

It is up to you but you can reject refund request because the customer has changed his mind - that is not related with your theme.

Hi, This theme is works with license ? or Without license also works ? Based on this you can decide? In case works with license then i suggest you can approve refund.

10

Theme is fully open source and anyone can easily install and use if they get files. so even if i approve refund, buyer can use theme

11

I suggest you can reject the refund.

It was true that theme work with license but now a days new api system could be stop that but that guy/purchaser got the file.

13

In my opinion, you should reject the request to refund

Envato rules

Unfortunately after you’ve downloaded the package, we cannot give you refund. Please check the refund policy here :

I reject that type of refund requests. Because, it’s customer’s decision. There’s not an issue on the item who bought.

If s/he gives bad review, I write the below link to removal of that review and Envato stuff removes it within 1-2 days:

I select “My Items and Uploads”. Then “I need help with a rating or review from a customer”.
